Guys, I have to say that I'm very happy about this change.

Don't look at me like I'm insane.
You know how fugly it looks. You know how many editors will hate it. It may even drive people from Wikia. I'm seeing this whole thing as a potential boost to NIWA traffic.

Thanks, Wikia! =D

I wonder if they'll take my slogan suggestion:
Wikia: like it or get bent!

Haha!

As for the layout...eep! Looks like a template off of blogger and NOTHING like a wiki! Too much going on in the layout that it just distracts from the content (other than those ads). Wikia really blew it this time!

Mother 3 Mother 3 Mother 3 Mother 3 Mother 3

...hands down. Though before I played that, I adored LoZ:Majora's Mask (along with Wind Waker as an extremely close second) and Pokemon Emerald. I still do. But now that I have played Mother 3... yeah, it's pretty much going to be impossible to top that as far as my favorite Nintendo game goes.

All I can say is: Oh dear god.

I mean even if it wasn't Wikia, I would hate that skin to death. I really hate this 'social' trend that's been going around websites lately, and from a reader's viewpoint rather than an editors... ugh I don't care how many articles and images there are and what's new, quit bugging me with those huge boxes and let me read my article in piece. 8T

I already don't really like the Wikia skin- it's kind of hard to navigate... like, the navigation's more suited for a personal site rather than a wiki. I'm not sure how to describe it, but for a wiki it's really cluttered. Bleh.

Plus what's with the "Image added by ___" thing? Viewers are not going to really care what user added things. And for editors... you'd probably be using an upload log instead or something. And what's with that toolbar at the bottom? Oh god if that thing follows you as you scroll down... ugh. What's the point of Facebook liking an article anyway? Along with a share button for social sites? I can see that being useful for humorous things being like "dude guys check this out it's hilarious" but I don't really see formal and informative articles spreading via social sites.

The funny thing is this design approach really reminds me of like, three forums I've been on. They were all run by like, 13-15 year olds and would constantly clutter up for forum with useless social gadgets no one ever used. And this is... Wikia, something where profits are made, and likely there are people who are specifically in charge of design, maybe get money off of it, and are likely older than 13 years old. Ouch.

I don't know much about Wikia itself (just that they're a bunch of s***bags) but if they have some sort of friend feature or are planning to add it, I think I might go shoot something. Because... the amount of times I've uttered "Bulbapedia is a wiki, not a social site" at people paying attention to only their userpage... no Wikia do NOT make people make that connection. ;_____;

When someone advertises NIWA in that blog, be sure to link to it! I read page 1 and there's threats to walk off of Wikia.

[FAIL]

FAIL
And just to drive home the fact they don't really care for the fans, the staff don't respond at all to people complaining about the loss of the Monaco skin, because they've customised it so much on their Wikia. Instead they stick a ridiculous "it's not a new skin, it's a new version" answer in an FAQ, that manages to upgrade it all from "fail" to "epic fail".

Wow, I thought "blog" when I first looked at it.  I read a lot of the comments, and it just shows how truly ignorant Wiki is to the opinions of everyone except Wikia staff. 

I find it hilarious that this is doing nothing but further screwing them over... and moreso than some of their past mistakes. 

I vote for my own logo, of course.
